[0003] At that time, powdered compounding agents such as vulcanization accelerators are often used in the form of pellets in order to facilitate weighing and to prevent scattering during kneading. However, the pellet state is destroyed by the shearing force during kneading, and at that time, a part is scattered, and the shortage often occurs. In addition, when a material such as an organic peroxide is melted at the time of kneading to become a liquid, not only is it difficult to uniformly disperse the raw rubber in the raw rubber by slipping the raw rubber in the mixer, but also kneading. Takes a long time.

In order to produce a master batch of an organic peroxide in a shorter time, the inorganic reinforcing agent and / or the inorganic filler and the organic peroxide are preferably divided into two parts. Increasing the number of divisions increases the kneading time,
Since the production cost is increased, the content of the organic peroxide in the masterbatch is increased, and unless there are special circumstances such as the fact that kneading becomes difficult due to the melting of the organic peroxide, the number of divisions is as small as possible. It is desirable to reduce When dividing the total amount of carbon black and the organic peroxide into two parts, first, each of the two parts is 50% by weight or more and 5 parts by weight.
Less than 0% by weight, divided into two parts, the inorganic filler in each of the divisions being the same amount as the organic peroxide or the amount of the inorganic filler being at least 10% by weight larger than the organic peroxide. % Or more and the base rubber are sufficiently kneaded, and then the remaining divided materials are added and kneaded sufficiently, so that a uniform master batch can be obtained in a short time. More preferably, 60% by weight or more and less than 90% by weight of the divided product and 1%
That is, it is divided into two parts, that is, 0 wt% or more and less than 40 wt%. At the time of kneading, the divided inorganic filler and the organic peroxide may be added to the base rubber at the same time, or may be added after mixing both in advance. From the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferable to use a mixture of the two in advance.

The organic peroxide-containing masterbatch of the present invention thus obtained is a mixture of a nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and an ethylene-based saturated copolymer rubber.
30 parts by weight of an inorganic reinforcing agent and / or an inorganic filler per part by weight
It contains 300 parts by weight and 40 to 150 parts by weight of an organic peroxide. If the contents of the inorganic filler and the organic peroxide exceed the above-mentioned respective upper limits, it becomes difficult to produce the uniformly kneaded master batch, which is not preferable. When the content of the inorganic reinforcing agent and / or the inorganic filler is less than 30 parts by weight, it is difficult to suppress the slip of the copolymer rubber in the mixer due to the melting of the organic peroxide during the production of the master batch. . When the content of the organic peroxide is less than 40 parts by weight, the proportion of the masterbatch added to the raw rubber becomes too large to reduce the degree of freedom of blending, and also greatly affects the physical properties of the crosslinked rubber product. Therefore, there is almost no merit as a master batch. The preferred content is 80 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic reinforcing agent and / or an inorganic filler, and 100 parts by weight of an organic peroxide per 100 parts by weight of a mixture of a nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and an ethylene-based saturated copolymer rubber. It is in the range of 80 to 120 parts by weight. Among the organic peroxide-containing masterbatches of the present invention, JIS K-
